Let's hope Yamaha doesn't commit to a 100% "green" lineup and run themselves out of the rest of the recreation market (like they did with 4 stroke sleds.)

I used to love my Yammie sleds, until they turned them into tanks.

We've been told as long as the current guy is in charge at American Honda, it will never be full electric.

Hydrogen will never work, you can't just put more in when low out on the trail or at camp. These type of vehicles are for the libs who think their doing something using paper straws in their plastic Starbucks cups.

Maybe they will use changeable canisters.

And I would bet Japan calls the shots.

I am in no way even close to a paper straw lefty, but do enjoy the technology race - don’t agree with Yamaha that the market and me will want anything for fuel other than good old gasoline - the Japanese are the leaders in hydrogen fueled engine development while the rest of the morons including Ford are going all in on plug in glorified kids Barbie keeps.

Interesting is the hydrogen bottles will be swappable and would reduce the talon bucking problem in the rear.

It's entirely possible that the price of a barrel of oil will be over $300 soon.

Does that make hydrogen more attractive?

hydrogen is about green emissions, $300 a barrel gasoline is about incompetent\incoherent\dementia proxy lefty leadership in DC.

The hydrogen tech is getting better all the time.

It wasn't long ago when hydrogen vehicles had to be as big as a mini-van.

I'm on the road and my data plan will rape me $$$ if I watch the video. Could you tell me why they think it will help with the bucking problem?

I'm disappointed in both Yamaha and Honda for missing the basic engineering concepts, known for decades, that would/could prevent bucking. :( Longer trailing arm for instance.
